Nago Climbing Area, Trento Province

The Rock Climbing site known as Nago is located just west of the small town of Nago. The town sits overlooking the Lake of Garda (Italy's largest lake) and is perhaps the second most visited climbing site in the area. The climbing site offers over 120 routes at average grade of 6b, so this attracts lots of climbers. There are plenty of lower grades to work on and improve your skill levels and the location is very scenic.
